Summer 2013 Calendar
Silent Cinema Presents How (Not) To Build A House
_610_407shar_s_c1.jpg)
Four silent comedy shorts about architecture.
With the Architecture and Design Film Festival taking place at the Music Box Theatre April 12th – 16th, we thought it was appropriate to pay homage to some of silent cinema’s most outrageous architectural constructions. Screening are two Laurel and Hardy shorts, The Finishing Touch (1928) and Liberty (1929), and two Buster Keaton shorts, One Week (1920) and The High Sign (1921).
Various directors | 1920-1929 | ca. 80 min | silent with organ accompaniment
Part of our monthly Second Saturday Silent Cinema series
Named by Chicago Magazine as the Best New Film Series of 2011. Now presented on the second Saturday of every month at noon! All films are shown “authentically” in 35mm at proper silent film speed and aspect ratio with live accompaniment by Dennis Scott at the Music Box theatre organ!
Pricing
Tickets $10 each, $8 for students and seniors. Available at the Box Office and online.
The Finishing Touch
starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy
This two-reel Laurel and Hardy silent is especially rich in slapstick. The comic duo have been promised five hundred dollars to finish a house, but the racket is disturbing the quiet of a nearby hospital, and both a nurse (Dorothy Coburn) and policeman (Edgar Kennedy) insist that the noise be kept to a minimum. Of course, with Laurel and Hardy, this request is impossible.
Liberty
starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy
Directed by Leo McCarey, Liberty begins with Laurel and Hardy escaping from prison. On the run, the boys attempt to seek out a quiet place to exchange their prisoner’s stripes for something a little less conspicuous. When the police chase the duo up to the top of a high-rise construction site, that’s where the real chaos begins.
One Week
starring Buster Keaton
Buster Keaton and his new bride have one week to assemble their home from a Do-It-Yourself kit before their housewarming party, scheduled for Friday the 13th.
The High Sign
starring Buster Keaton Silent
Filmed in 1920 but released a year later, The High Sign is Buster Keaton’s first film production as a solo performer, and is also one of his funniest. Keaton is a contract-killer hired to kill the town miser, August Nicklenurser. However Nicklenurser knows a good man when he sees one and hires Keaton as his personal bodyguard. The short’s climactic chase sequence sees Keaton eluding his bandit pursuers through windows and down trap-doors in a dizzying re-imagination of architectural navigation.
